Electromechanical Instrumentation and Maintenance Technologies/Technicians at DeVry University-Ohio

DeVry's electromechanical instrumentation program lands precisely at the national median for earnings but trails other Ohio options by a significant margin. With first-year earnings of $62,864, graduates earn $4,300 less than the typical Ohio grad in this field—ranking in just the 40th percentile statewide. The University of Toledo, for comparison, produces graduates earning $71,470, nearly $9,000 more annually.

The real concern is the debt load. At $52,062, students here carry 33% more debt than the Ohio median of $39,031, despite earning less than their in-state peers. This creates a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.83—manageable but less favorable than what comparable Ohio programs deliver. The positive earnings growth of 15% over four years shows solid career progression, reaching $72,119, but you're starting from a lower base compared to other state options.

Given the small sample size (under 30 graduates), these numbers could shift year to year. However, the pattern is clear: if your child qualifies for University of Toledo or other public Ohio programs, they'll likely achieve better earnings with less debt. DeVry serves a purpose for students needing flexible scheduling or who face admission barriers elsewhere, but it's not the value leader for this technical field in Ohio.
